Tommorow (Monday) I have the final assessment as to whether I have aspergers.
I just hope that ALL things are taken into account as I want it to be a proper look at everything, and then the proffesionals making the decision.

I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

I hope that whatever you find out proves useful for you.

Today I had what I thought was the final assessment. It ends up that there are more (perhaps another 3) involving all sorts of tests. I'm pleased that it is so thorough.

So, I still don't know.

I will. If I am diagnosed as not having aspergers or ASD I'll leave this forum.
